Contrails, or condensation trails, left by aircraft, significantly contribute to global warming by trapping heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. Despite their critical role in climate dynamics, the environmental impact of contrails remains underexplored....

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pushparaj, N., Cormier, L., Cappelletti, C., & Portapas, V. (2024, October). CubeSats for Contrail Monitoring and Environmental Impact Reduction. Presented at 75th International Astronautical Congress, Milan, Italy

Contrails, or condensation trails, are cloud-like trails left by aircraft under certain atmospheric conditions. They are known to exacerbate global warming by trapping heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. Despite the significant role of contrails in clima... Read More about CubeSats for Contrail Monitoring and Environmental Impact Reduction.
